In that case I think I'll stick to summer field day, then. There is a vocal anti-FT8 contingent. I choose to boycott them if they are hostile to a mode that for some has meant the difference between
You can disable auto sequence and send the exchange as a plain text message. The future of FT8 is to support up to 100 bit messages, so built in contest exchanges are likely coming. Or you can use JS
Theres really no comparison. There is **NO** accusation whatsoever that SSTV is not real radio or computers talking to computers or destroying ham radio. ALL of these claims have been leveled against

What if the other person not sure, deletes your call from their log? You end up losing that QSO. I don't have insight into log checking but I'd imagine that if the computer can determine that the cal
While I do update it immediately before the contest, sometimes stations come up with a brand new callsign for a contest. I know this has happened before. 73 Ria, N2RJ -- Ria Jairam, N2RJ Director, Hu

It is specifically against rule X. I. Correction of logged call signs and exchanges after the contest by using any database, recordings, email or other methods of confirming QSOs is not allowed. Ria
